Those old back roads just keep calling my name....

Good Evening, my dears..

Hope all is well with you ..

A little simple post for tonight.. 

I thought you might like to go along with us on a little field trip we took last week up into places with names such as Collier Mountain, Meadow, Pleasant Ridge, Hillside, Ferndale and  Elgin.. 

Not a lot of traffic in these hills.. 

Just a few early hunters out checking to see what was about.. 

The windmill farm certainly is visible in many areas for miles around...

Many old houses and barns ... 

Empty ... 

 They may have moved to town... sigh..

Yet there are still folks living in these areas.. 

They have wonderful old homes that have been around for many a year.. 

Their views are splendid..

Lots of brooks and streams and old bridges ...

Clear beautiful water...

Farms with cattle and there are horses at almost every farm..

Some dear Mama still hanging out the laundry.. 

While it is blowing in the Fall breezes

the cow bells are tinkling over in the pasture... 

A dear precious old cemetery.. 

My sweet father's stone is the fifth one...

I have 4 sets of grandparents here along with many uncles, aunts and cousins..

Some glad morning, though... smile..

Blueberry fields abound...

Aren't they the most awesome color? 

Such beauty to behold....  

Rushing streams and falls...

And sweet reminders of what is really important... 

I am not a photographer nor do I own a great camera but God has given us such beauty in this old world..

And as you can see...

 The rural back roads of Albert County just keep calling my name... smile... 

Hope you enjoyed our time together.. 

So glad you dropped by..

If you are not busy stop by tomorrow and I will be posting a recipe for peasant bread that I made at the farm today... 

Welcome too to our new followers.. 

So nice to meet you all..

Loved all of your comments on the Keepers Meeting.. 

You guys are so sweet..

God bless...
